Symbol
Symbols are markers that are used to indicate point positions. Any TrueType glyph can be used as a symbol, including several custom glyphs provided with Grapher. You can use the Home | Draw | Symbol command to place symbols in the document. You can change the symbol color, size, set, and opacity in the Property Manager.
Symbol Properties
Symbols contain symbol properties. You can change these properties in the Property Manager.
